Now, I'm no motorhead, and I'm certainly not a good scrounger, but I know of
those who are both and building for even less. I don't know how this rumor
got started that the engine is so expensive...maybe because WW has said he
will build and engine for $6,000 (probably more now). Yes, the mods can add
to that, but no one is required to use those mods. Stock oil coolers are
just fine for a Piet, and WW supplies shop drawings for those who want to
machine their own stuff.
Heck, you want to be a purist and do as BHP did? Your probably around
$1,200, but you won't get 100 hp.

Oh, us aircraft engine pushers will wear him down one logical point at a
time. For instance - it costs just as much to make a Corvair airworthy
- with the 5th bearing and all of Wm. Wynne's mods - as it does to buy a
O-235, etc.

OK, I'm not going to comment further on this simply 'cause I don't know.
Yes, I've repeated what I've been told - I am simply a dumb mouthpiece
when it comes to the Corvair discussion. If you guys wanna go and use
'em, more power to ya! Good on you! That's the Experimentalist spirit!
Me, I'm going to stick with my aircraft engine because I trust it more.
It lost all compression on one cylinder and still pulled my butt
around the sky for who knows how long on only 3 cylinders.
So, other than pokin' fun at you (CS)^2 guys, I'm not going put any more
useful information in this thread - and that's only because I don't have
any useful information.
Onward,
Dan

| Subject: | Re: Back to Corvairs...I guess. |
Reading through this thread (and my previous posts) again this morning and just
wanted to clarify that I wasn't intending to sound snotty, just trying to point
out that while the discussion usually seems to revolve around money, not everyone
makes their decisions based purely on price. Yes, part of the reason I
chose to build and airplane, and part of the reason I chose the Corvair was based
upon economy, but it's not everything, and as I've progressed through my
project I've found that it doesn't make sense to skimp all the time. Being a
new builder, I've not made enough contacts to scrounge effectively, so I'm paying
full price for most of my components, as many of us are. For example... I
didn't feel like going to the lumber yard and sifting through boards so that
I could come to the shop and rip hundreds of feet of strip, I also felt that spruce
was probably better (lighter and stronger) that what I could find around
here. I'm a big guy, so weight was a primary concern. Did I spend 300% more
than it would have cost for me to buy rough cut locally? Maybe 400%? I don't
know, but whatever it was I was glad to avoid that chore.
Anyhow... getting back to the point... which is, cost. When I first chose the
Corvair it was indeed based somewhat on economy, and availability, and simplicity,
and, well... I honestly can't remember what all I was thinking when I got
into this project, but I haven't seen anything yet that has convinced me that
I made a bad engine choice. Has my original assessment in cost changed since
I started this project? It has increased almost double... but it's still just
as educational as it would have been at a lesser price. Maybe more so! I'm
learning that these things not only take longer than expected, they generally
cost more too! Ha ha!
Some might ask... if you aren't trying to skimp, why did you choose a car engine
as opposed to one of the tried and true aviation engines? I suppose that's
a fair question, but my answer would simply be... because I wanted to. Plus,
I don't believe I'm skimping. Just like any hobby, a person can spend as much
or as little as their interest dictates. Guns, Amateur Radio, R/C Airplanes,
Astronomy... just a few of the interests that I've spent a hefty sum to be involved
in... but it's all relative... others have many times what I have invested,
yet I still enjoy the hobby just the same.
So, on and on I go, basically saying what others have said, which is that everything
isn't based on money. If it were a difference of many thousands of dollars
between my car engine and a suitable airplane engine, then I might consider
dropping the idea, but given that it's literally a toss up at this point, and
the Corvair should be very reliable and economical during operation, I'm going
to press on. You know, I originally thought that I could complete this project
for $10-$15,000... woops, I'm approaching that target already. I will likely
exceed $20k, but probably not by much. Yeah, I still have to budget for
the materials we need in order to keep pressing on, but it is what it is, and
regardless of the expense, my family and I are having a ball. That's got to be
worth something!

If personal safety is your prime consideration then you have no business
building your own aircraft. Especially when you can buy a used certified
aircraft quite often for less. I think its hypocritical for anyone who is
building there own aircraft (especially if it is their first) to say that
safety is their prime concern.
And you are wrong Mark, you can only have fun if you use a "genuine"
aircraft engine in your aircraft plus if you don't you will most certainly
die.

Wow, we have about beat this subject to death, but let me add just
this. I've disassembled 3 Corvair cores, 2 Continental A-65's, then
rebuilt the A-65. I don't see how you could possibly consider the
Corvair to be simpler than the basic small Continental, especially the
reliable no battery needed magneto ignition. The Corvair is a neat
design, and its amazing how neatly packaged the bottom end is. When I
compared the obvious strength of the crankshafts, crankcases, and the #1
crank bearing, it helped me make my decision.

Won't get to park with them, cause I have an airplane engine in mine,
and they will be in Auto conversion parking. However we are all
brothers of the Pietenpol who are comfortable with our many decisions
made during the building process.

Folks
For those going to Sun-Fun, just wondering if some of the Piet group
will be getting together on Saturday April 2nd, and if so where and when.
I'd really like to put some faces on the names on this list that I've been
lurking on for the past year. My son and I have been to Oshkosh many times,
but this is a first trip to Sun-Fun so we really don't know what to expect.
If possible, my son and I would love to sit in a couple of Piet's to get an
idea of what we are getting ourselves into.......

PS: Plans purchased a year ago, Cad work just about done (see attached),
work shop just about ready to go...wood to be purchased when shop is
ready.........Please don't ask which engine I'm going to use ;)

priceless!

Nice CAD work Chuck (using very high tech to render very primitive
technology). At SNF just check out the woodworking shop/tent, Dick and the
gang will be working on a Piet fuselage and they should know if any Piet
get-together is planned.
(Now you just need to add a CAD Corvair engine to your CAD Pietenpol)

A-65
After overhauling my Stromberg NA-S3B carb in 2003 and going to the Delrin
needle with the counterweight, I now find that I should have replaced the
needle seat that has a rounded shoulder where the needle engages, part
#383911. Several websites for Fly Babies, Luscombes, etc. referred me to Skyport
Services but they don't have any, nor does Fresno Airparts (I thought they
had parts for everything from the Wright Flyer on!).
Aircraft Spruce, where I bought the needle but which made no mention in the
catalogue that a different seat was called for, is researching if one can
be found.
Meanwhile, I turn to the real experts. Does anyone have a source for the
seat that works with the Delrin needle? Does anyone have a seat they're not
going to use?

No, I've got the stainless steel needle. It leaked like a sieve until I
lapped in the valve seat. I mounted the valve seat in a drill press vice,
chucked the needle in the drill press, squirted some Crest toothpaste onto
the seat and used the drill press to spin the needle against the seat,
lapping it with the toothpaste as a fine abrasive. It works perfectly and
no longer leaks.
Could you do something similar to round off the edges of the seat you have
so it would work with the delrin needle?

For those going to Sun-Fun=2C just wondering if some of the Piet group
will be getting together on Saturday April 2nd=2C and if so where and when.
I'd really like to put some faces on the names on this list that I've been
lurking on for the past year. My son and I have been to Oshkosh many times
=2C but this is a first trip to Sun-Fun so we really don't know what to exp
ect. If possible=2C my son and I would love to sit in a couple of Piet's to
get an idea of what we are getting ourselves into.......

Well, it's a little late now to mention it, but you might not want to glue
the ribs in place until you've got the drag and anti-drag wires in place and
have the wing trammeled. You will almost certainly need to move some of
those ribs an inch or two to clear the wires. It is not necessary to glue
the ribs to the spars at all. I just used AN501 nails on mine. Once the
wing is together and the fabric is rib-laced the ribs can't move anyway.

My first shot at glueing ribs to spars using T88. Will let you know

Looking good, Chuck. If you run into clearance problems with wires like Jack described,
I've seen people put doublers on the affected rib intercoastals and
then clearance those intercoastals for clearance (Clarence).
Hope that makes sense.

Been there -- done that. What I did was slid the ribs on and positioned
them about where the plans call for. I then mounted the 6 metal
fittings that the wires connect to and ran mason cord between the
fittings in lieu of the wires. I then adjusted the rib positions so
that the wires would clear and marked the positions on the front spar.
I then took the ribs off the spars, and using a square, transferred the
marks to the rear spar. then I marked and drew perpendicular lines at
the same places on the left wing spars (the wing shown is the right
wing.) So when I go to put the wires in, they should not touch the ribs
anywhere. As far as using the nails -- I didn't think that I would have
room to hammer the nails in. What did you use -- a midget hammer?

It works perfectly and no longer leaks.
Plus, the engine now has minty fresh breath, and no cavities...

I have one from a rubber needle. I think you can use that with a derlin
needle. You are welcome to it, if you want it.

Its was done with Google Sketchup (free version)....does not convert
perfectly well to a dwg.......I was thinking of converting it to a 3D PDF
(could be rotated and zoomed in and out using free adobe reader!)...but then
I read the heavy discussion on liability and now I'm having second thoughts
on that.... :(

For those going to Sun-Fun, just wondering if some of the Piet group
will be getting together on Saturday April 2nd, and if so where and when.
I'd really like to put some faces on the names on this list that I've been
lurking on for the past year. My son and I have been to Oshkosh many times,
but this is a first trip to Sun-Fun so we really don't know what to expect.
